Can you try using a browser other than IE?  Let's make sure this is the IE6 issue mentioned (which would be my guess), even if the config change below didn't fix it for you.  -Brian

I tried both entries and I still remain stuck trying to load

This is a bug in IE6 caused by the cache-control headers being set by
Tomcat 5.X when combined with HTTP auth and SSL and binary content
such as a swf.

The fix is the following which will disable setting the proper but
troublesome cache-control header. 

In the flex web app, add a META-INF directory.  Inside of that
directory create a document

context.xml

Within this file add the following line.

        <Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator"
          disableProxyCaching="false" />

If you are using BASIC instead of form just use

        <Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.BasicAuthenticator"
          disableProxyCaching="false" />

Youre problem will go away.
